Ring Ousel has occurred in autumn twice before, but the third occurrence today came as no less of a suprise as a first winter male bathed in a puddle yards from my kitchen window,with several Blackbirds and a Fieldfare. I grabbed the camera and fired off a few shots through the closed window\u00a0as it splashed in the water. It then began feeding on fallen apples with the other thrushes before flying off. What a nice bird to see from house!<\/p>\n<p>Along to St Marys,where things were quiet with a Chiffchaff,4 Goldcrests and a Blackcap being the only migrants noted in the mild unseasonal weather. The fields however ,remained filled with a variety of feeding flocks.<\/p>\n<p>A.S.
